Instructions:
-
Heat oil and garlic cloves in a saucepan over medium heat, allowing the garlic to infuse the oil with its aromatic essence.
-
Add the boneless pork to the saucepan and brown it evenly, ensuring a delightful golden crust forms on the surface.
-
Reduce the heat to a simmer once the pork is evenly browned, allowing it to tenderize and soak up the flavors.
-
In a separate pot, combine the serrano chilies and roma tomatoes, covering them with water (approximately 3 cups). Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld together harmoniously.
-
Drain the tomatoes and chilies, reserving about 1/2 cup of the flavorful cooking water for later use.
-
Peel the tomatoes and remove the ends of the serrano chilies, ensuring they are ready to be incorporated into the delectable sauce.
-
In a blender, combine the reserved 1/2 cup of water, salt (adjust according to your taste preference), peeled tomatoes, and chilies. Blend the mixture until it forms a smooth, vibrant sauce that’s bursting with flavor.
-
Pour the blended sauce over the browned pork in the saucepan, allowing the rich flavors to infuse into every fiber of the meat. Let the pork simmer gently in the sauce for an additional 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and intensify.
-
Serve your savory Serrano Pork hot and fresh, garnished with your favorite herbs or alongside your choice of sides.
Chef’s Tips:
- Adjust the amount of serrano chilies according to your desired level of heat. Remember, the longer you simmer the pork in the sauce, the spicier it will become!
- Pair this mouthwatering dish with steamed rice, warm tortillas, or a crisp salad for a well-rounded meal.
- Don’t rush the cooking process—allow the flavors to develop slowly over gentle heat for the most tantalizing results.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, allowing you to enjoy the deliciousness for days to come!
